Venting

[BlueJ1]

Entering my Senior year. I worked my arse off for this year. I can now sit back and take easy 1/2 credit courses and not worry about regents or passing major classes. I dropped spanish in my sophmore year only because it was to much of a workload, and my teacher was one of those who says, "yea I got a headache today so just do whatever. "  And I dont have to worry about college what so ever. So my stress level this year will be at an all time low, will beable to pay more attention to my lady friends.


Compared to yall who went to school 15 plus years ago, teachers are not the same. Teachers now adays are, for the most part, looking for more money then teaching. My AP U.S. History teacher couldnt remember the years of WWII.

School always came easy for me...i goofed off out of boredom...Straight A's and Straight poor conducts all the time. Varsity letterman cause i liked the attention. I thought i had it all figured out...had a letter to the AIr Force Academy with Senator behind me...Dad was Colonel in the USAF.  I was all set to be a fiter pilot.  SAT's 1380....

Then i found out I had Muscular Dystrophy...thought I needed a knee brace cause it kept giving out whe i was hiking...Air Force MD figured it out and a muscle biopsy later it was confirmed...16 years of dreaming of flying a fiter out the window and whole life upside down.  Not to mention the prayers i prayed while i waited for the biopsy results.....

Point is..you never know what the future holds so dont limit yourself son.  Work hard and be good at everything you do..it will make you better in the end.  School is not a game...it is a time for learning but more importantly maturing into a decent human being with good ethics and understanding how to get along with one another.

BTW im fine....became a doctor instead...married a beautiful doctor as well and have 3 great kids and one otw.  But i get weaker each year...cant go up steps or run anymore etc.  Howver i thank God everyday for what he has given me. I hope someday you do too and not be filled with regrets for what you let slip thru your hands

Here's the bare minimum, 1 credit=a full year of class, .5 credit=semester of class.

English:4
Social studies:2.5 U.S. History required (1 credit)
Math:3
Science:2
P.E.:2 (.5 must be health)
Electives:6
Applied tach.,fine arts, business/marketing or vocational education, computer education, consumer/family studies:1.5

You are, however, expected to have AT LEAST 7 classes per year.  8 if you really want to fill in your schedule and lose an off period.  You follow a very strict schedule, 4 classes for freshman, sophomore's, and junior's, must be math, english, science, social studies, or world language  Senior's are required to have AT LEAST 5 classes, 3 being math, social studies, or english.   So while you may only need 3 credits of math, they REQUIRE you to take 4.
